All subjects to be included in our study were evaluated before and after treatment by a physiotherapist acting as a blinded evaluator. In the treatment, conventional physiotherapy approaches are applied twice a week for 8 weeks by the physiotherapist conducting the thesis study. In parallel with the initial evaluation, an individualized conventional physiotherapy program is created according to the functional status of the children and the severity and type of the affected area. The main topics of this program consist of the following: Normal range of motion exercises for shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers, strengthening exercises for scapulothoracic, shoulder, elbow, hand-wrist joints in all directions, stretching exercises for shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingers (to be selected depending on the patient's involvement), scapulothoracic mobilization, glenohumeral mobilization and elbow according to possible limitations, hand-wrist joint mobilization techniques (myofascial release, gliding

All approaches applied to the conventional physiotherapy group are applied to this group in the same manner and duration (8 weeks-twice a week). However, in addition to conventional physiotherapy, progressive motor imagery (AMI) training program is being applied twice a week for 8 weeks. In the GMI program, in addition to this program, components of GMI training will be applied to sequentially activate cortical motor networks and improve cortical organization. These are; * Laterality training with the help of visuals selected in the first stage (0-2 weeks) * In the second stage, motor imagery activities designed in the form of scenarios to be developed specifically for motor activity deficiencies seen in OBPY (2-5 weeks) * In the third stage, a mirror therapy program will be prepared (5-8 weeks).
